Recs for helmet bag (Europe)

This is from Mil-Tec, though. As I wrote in the OP, people say it’s bad quality. Do you have first hand experience with it? I don’t find anything else, so I might try it, it’s not expensive at least.

Help with first pair of jeans (Acne)

Above pair looks great imo. Although, I'm not sure you can count on the waist stretching on a used pair of jeans. E.g., if the first owner also sized down a bit, the measurements you see now might be the stretched numbers and the fabric might not have more in it.

The concept of the 'natural waist'

correct. I'm slightly above the waist size of the size 32 pair at the specified rise, hence my doubts

The concept of the 'natural waist'

I agree, that's why I was surprised (this pair, for example: https://www.thearmoury.com/collections/trousers/first-class-high-twist-wool-model-a-trousers?variant=40266377625671)

Natalino

Do you know if they changed their cut since then? Their current offering doesn’t seem that slim according to their size charts, however not wide by any means.

guide on which sock length to wear ?

Id’s say knee length with suits and nice tailored trousers. 3/4 length with casual wear (or whatever you want, really, but I’d only wear ankle length socks for sport). Sockless/no-show in warm weather if you’re after that look.

All-year wool trousers

Yes, I’m in the EU. Benevento looks good, thanks for the suggestion! Although, they don’t have a mid-grey pair currently, and their fit might be slightly more tapered than what I’m after. (Not sure about the double button closure, either) Same with Suitsupply, in the straighter fits - Milano and Duca - they don’t have a mid grey worsted option atm.

All-year wool trousers

There are some good looking trousers here. Although, I think their wool trousers are too rugged/workwear-ish (and probably too warm) for what I'm looking for atm.

All-year wool trousers

So, I guess I have a lot of questions. Any recommendations in the Natalino range? Any 2nd hand recs instead? Is going bespoke a good idea in my case? Where I could order cloth from, possibly cheaper than Drapers' prices but still quality? Any specific cloth recs for year-round wear? Any insight in general? I don't need to wear tailored trousers in my lifestyle, so would be happy to pay less, but don't want to compromise much on quality. I guess if I had a nice pair which I can use for casual wear I'd wear it more often, to theatre, restaurants, etc. (The above mentioned tailor works with Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil, Groves & Lindley and J & J Minnis clothes, but I believe only with a limited set of above makers' offering. Although, he also works with cloth the customer brings. I visited him last week, asked if he has Fresco, or something similar, but he didn't. Since then I changed my mind about the fabric and now thinking I'm better of with something I can wear year-round, as this would be my first pair.)

Cashmere-linen blend?

Thanks! So could be a good option for a spring jacket? Probably too warm for summer?

Sport jacket - keep?

Thanks! Curious if you say the collared shirt because of the style of the jacket or coz you’re against T-shirts under sport jackets in general. I sometimes like that look.

Sport jacket - keep?

Thanks! I’m curious about the suit dorks’ opinion, too 😄 the ‘waves’ - not sure about right word - in the back seem a little funky, but not sure if they’re just wrinkles due to being folded during shipping, or a fit problem.

Do these Athletic-fit chinos fit me?

Imo they’re too small. For the reasons you mentioned

Recs for helmet bag (Europe)

Thanks! I’ve seen this one. Not a fan of the quilting, and would also like to stay away from universal-surplus if possible due to a previous bad experience.
